Public Sector Updates – North

Launceston General Hospital (LGH)

Operating Room Suite (ORS)

The ANMF has received multiple contacts from members in the LGH ORS. Members have raised concerns with skill mix, unreasonable overtime, understaffing and running the ORS beyond the posted schedule. The ANMF has booked a member meeting for Thursday 7 April 2022. In the interim, we have written to the Chair of the LGH Safe Staffing Committee requesting reports on ORS activity, as was agreed as a result of the 2021 grievance. A further update will be provided to members at the 7 April meeting.

Emergency Department (ED)

On Monday 28 March 2022, the ANMF met with LGH ED members to discuss progress on the solutions gained out of the 2021 Tasmanian Industrial Commission (TIC) process. Further update to follow via an email shortly.

Holman Clinic

The ANMF has been in consultation with Tasmanian Health Service (THS) management regarding solutions achieved out the 2020-2021 TIC grievance process. Predominantly the ANMF has been looking to secure the Floor Support position in a permanent capacity. At the time of print, further discussions were in motion, and we anticipate an email update to members shortly.

Beaconsfield District Health Service

The ANMF met with management at the Tasmanian Health Service (THS) regarding the upcoming three-month roster trial. The THS and ANMF have agreed to extend the roster trial to cover two roster periods (six months in total).

St Mary’s

The ANMF had the pleasure of visiting members at St Mary’s on Thursday 24 March 2022 and discussed issuing workload forms to record instances where workload is elevated and unreasonable.

Medea Park

The ANMF was delighted to meet with members from Medea Park as part of the 2022 Northern Roadshow.

TasTafe Visit

The ANMF enjoyed hosting a stall at the Northern TasTafe Student Study Day. We loved meeting the students and chatting to them about the ANMF and their career options.
